Pretty much yeah. Open drivers along with their Mesa drivers are moving quite nicely. Whether or not they are yet far enough for you, you'd have to find out yourself. Do keep in mind though that by using legacy Catalyst you can't use current X server versions so you probably end up switching sooner or later.

Too bad, I was hoping to finally be able to start watching videos in fullscreen without having glitches in fullscreen. I am talking about the better compisiting support since Catalyst 9.5

Hold on, something's not right here. The open source drivers already have that "better compositing support" for video playback. On your system the main advantages of the Catalyst driver are on the 3D side, particularly the level of OpenGL support.

If you're not getting smooth playback with the open source drivers in Jaunty give us a rundown of your playback stack, make sure you are using Xv output with Textured Video, and check your CPU utilization. It's not likely the drivers are the issue unless there's an install problem, say drm not running or something.
